"In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and His children shall have a place of refuge. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death" (Proverbs 14:26,27).
The fear of the Lord is simply defined
As living accountably before His eyes.
This is our confidence and peace of mind;
This is the refuge to which our soul flies.
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life;
Its rivers revive us in its flowing spring.
Thereby we rise up victorious in strife,
Escaping the dangers of death with its sting.
Come to this refuge as to a strong mountain,
To look for approval from our Lord alone.
Draw from the waters that flow from this fountain,
And drink from the rivers of grace from His throne.
